Thanks to +Bosse68 for a lovely 2008 Panda

A 2006 silver eagle proof , lovely coin really like the design of the silver eagle so wanted to see a proof  , and it is really so much nicer than the bullion version. 

35 quid including postage with coa and full packing slightly more than I wanted to pay but not too bad

1870 Australia one sovereign. Don´t know what it would be worth in its current condition, but I don´t think I did too bad paying the same as the cheapest ´normal´ sovereign.

Nice buy. Not the rarest year but not the most common either. They can go for a fair whack at times.

Early last week I found eBay had given me 10% off! I had an hour till the voucher timed out and managed to find this 1898 Eagle in Germany.

Added a monkey to the zoo.

Spare Mouse ? Tiger? Ox? Halves only

Is nobody else receiving anything I feel like I'm on my own here..

A period 2 California Gold half dollar. In the California Gold Rush there was a shortage of coins and local jewellers minted their own coins. These are very rare to find now as they are tiny and few remain.

Traced the pattern it's BG924. What is interesting is to compare the coin to the best condition one on PCGS coinfacts and you can see that one looks like scratches all in fact die marks and match up identically to the one on the PCGS site

I received my Kangaroos, but those have been illustrated enough.

They have bevelled rims, unlike the really sharp edges on my Spiders.

Today I received a 1/4 oz gold Australian nugget from Arshi and a 1985 silver proof Welsh leek one pound coin from eBay.

Top bloke Arshi:-)

[lubi29]

Were quite warm today and  two birds from Australia flew to my silver cage.

[sovereignsteve]

Very interesting. I suppose it makes sense that these local jewellers would only use one pair of dies and rough ones at that.

• Finally - the first two of my three Indian Head $5 gold coins, 1908 & 1909 -which i picked up today in the US. Happy with them both - love the details and the incuse design. Just as well - given that they are pretty expensive compared to sovereigns of similar vintage!, but i am pretty sure they will retain their numi value.

There is a huge market for these coins and the premium on buying seems to be there when selling. Will you grade them?

[Lindeman]

Funny you should ask Numi...as i know i have teased you about that before, but i was going to ask your opinion on that!! I have never sent a coin for grading, but it did cross my mind for these. They were £288 and £250 delivered, and i kinda resent spending another £30 to get them graded, even though i know it (maybe) enhances the value. 

Looking at your videos i am already a bit worried that one may have been cleaned (the 1909), but i am not planning to sell anyways! 

[Guest]

I have had a cleaned 1909 and one that got ms62.

Yours does look similar to the cleaned one unfortunately..

[Guest]

Thanks to Lubi for 2 large additions to the Lunar zoo. The Tiger 10oz and the Rabbit 10oz. That's all years complete to 10oz apart from the mouse..

[Guest]

Sent 5 of the Perth Longest Monarch coins in for grading and I think NGC did a good job.

They used a slightly different type of slab as these coins are much thicker than usual.

Also got a ms69 for the trade with 24k Arabia on YouTube
